For general questions, call Greg at Imaja (510) 526-4621 or send e-mail to . The number at the school is (510) 879-0840. Shirley Gueverra <munahoo@aol.com> is the main school contact and Becky Bean is another organizer from the school. (Aasha and Liz are out of town for a while, but we all look forward to seeing them again soon.)
Public Transit: Fruitvale BART to 54 Bus, 64 Bus from Berkeley, after turn on Campus drive, right behind Carl B Munck school. Carpools would be great.
We need information on operating the worm/compost bin, need worms. Planter boxes are needed for the gardens; there's excess wood available at the school to build with. Bring scrap wood, tools, compost, soil. We will be rebuilding a large outdoor fish tank located inside a small greenhouse. Any ideas for construction of the tank? If you have an existing tank, let us know. Contact Tom at bagelhole1@aol.com for more info.
There will be pizzas and salad for all involved, or bring some special food you made! The main garden is about 30x12 feet, and there's another garden area in the front nursery yard.
The music is what we make of it. Bring something light and merry to jam with, drums, shakers, flutes, or just hang out or dance!
